Hey folks!

I'll give a few details about my truck first since that's probably the more interesting part. I've got a 77' C10 with the 350 in it. I got the truck from my hunting club. It has been sitting in North East Nebraska for several years as it was used as our "Duck Truck" basically the beater truck we'd use to drive through fields, brush and sand banks for the ideal waterfowl spot. The truck starts and runs well, but over the recent years the truck has served as a prime place for the mice to survive the cold winters. (I've removed mouse nests out of the starter twice already!)

This is my first restoration project, so any wisdom or guidance will always be appreciated. I've studied mechanical engineering at Iowa State University and just recently graduated from Johnson University a Bible College in Tennessee. I am currently working full time launching a campus ministry at Creighton University in Omaha, NE.

Looking forward to this community and bringing new life into an old truck!
